19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The wages of sin. A lesson to us all.
That story sounds a lot like about 1982.
The day is coming when this kind of article and the posting thereof shall be deemed prosecutable hate speech and those who read same and fail to report the hate speech will be deemed accomplices.
Ask not for whom the Commie bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
We should NOT be encouraging homosexuality in our society, and ESPECIALLY our schools.
But this disease does deserve the same public attention that we give other self-inflicted diseases like lung cancer as well as self-inflicted conditions like alcoholism and drug abuse.
From the ....Anals of Internal Medicine......there, fixed it......
You bring up an intersting point-
The find that smoking *may be hazardous* to your health.
What do they do? Many places now have smoking bans.
They find that drinking while stupid causes accidents/ fights/drownings/car crashes.
What do they do? Some places ban alcohol.
They find that homosexual behavior is killings thousands of men each year.
What do they do? Sweep it under the rug.
If the nanny-staters and liberals are going to dictate our lives “for our own good” why can’t they be at least consistant?
Oh yeah, agenda. I forgot.
What parent in their right mind would want their children subjected to a lifestyle that would lower their lifespan by 30 years?
If your son or daughter came to you and said that they were going take up jumping out of an airplane using a parachute that failed 50% of the time, and if the parachute didn’t fail they had an 80% chance of being hurt and a 50% chance of that injury causing permanent damage and if they didn’t get injured in the jump they had a much higher risk of being murdered, becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol, having emotional problems and dying by the time they were 42
Would you want the public schools, politicians and parachute activists encouraging your child to engage in this lifestyle? Wouldn’t you want the school to make them aware of the risks? Wouldn’t you feel that parents that who didn’t do all they could to discourage this lifestyle were bad parents?
No instead the liberals and homosexual activists want it considered hate crime to even talk about these things.
I think this is where conservatives have made their mistakes, they try to frame their arguments in relgious and moral convictions instead of just publishing the facts.
This is nothing like alcoholism or lung cancer. We are creating increasingly resistent strains of bacteria that will be a plague on all. And drug abuse is illegal.
It already is in both England and Canada.
the posting thereof shall be deemed prosecutable hate speech
Well if that happens I’ll move to Canada!
oh wait....never mind
***Annals of Internal Medicine.***
Play on words?
No wonder we won the cold war!
No, they don't sweep it under the rug ... they "celebrate" it.
They blamed Reagan last time. They will blame Bush in 20 years.
The most frightening thing about this particular plague is the ease with which it can spread to those who do not engage in the risky behavior. Consider the possibility that a gay with highly resistant staphylococcus bacteria uses a restroom before a person with an open wound (not yet healed). The likelihood of transmission is there and without any untoward behavior. Pretty scary.
Unfortunately, this particular wage of sin (unlike AIDS, by and large) will rapidly spread to the population at large.
AIDS can be prevented by not performing sodomy or having random sex.
A staph infection can be picked up from a doorknob.
